Six The Musical Japanese production to host London workshops

This November, the West End will see the original Japanese cast of Six The Musical perform at the home of Six in London, the Vaudeville Theatre.

The Japanese cast of Six will play in London for one week only, performing in Japanese with English captions from 4 to 9 November 2025.

The show comes to London following sold out seasons earlier this year in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, produced by Umeda Arts Theater in Japan.

Six will star Sonim as ‘Aragon’, Meimi Tamura and Maho Minamoto alternating the role of ‘Boleyn’, Harumi as ‘Seymour’, Eliana and Marie Sugaya alternating the role of ‘Cleves’, Airi Suzuki and Erika Toyohara alternating the role of ‘Howard’, Sora Kazuki and Ruki Saito alternating the role of ‘Parr’. They will be joined by Aoi Tanaka as Musical Director. Due to existing scheduling commitments, original Japanese cast members Emiko Suzuki and Mahya Harada will not be appearing.

Audiences can also take part in two special cultural experiences to celebrate the Japanese show coming to London.

On Thursday 6 November from 5.15 – 6.45pm, Dear Asia will host a Japanese Language Workshop, inviting participants to explore the language and culture of Japan through the songs of Six. Fans will have the chance to learn the lyrics to their favourite numbers in Japanese, while also trying their hand at traditional arts and crafts in this fun and immersive session suitable for ages 10+.

Also, on Saturday 8 November from 12 – 1.30pm, acclaimed illustrator Chie Kutsuwada will lead a Manga Workshop with a Six-inspired twist. This beginner-friendly class introduces participants to the fundamentals of manga drawing before guiding them to create their own manga-style portraits of the Queens. All drawing materials will be provided, and the workshop is also suitable for ages 10+. You can book the workshops here.

Producer Kenny Wax said in a statement: “The arrival of our Japanese Queens is a landmark moment for Six. These workshops will give fans an extra way to connect with the production – not only through the performances at the Vaudeville, but also by experiencing the language and culture of Japan first-hand.”

Umeda Arts Theater Team said: “We are honoured that London is hosting the Japanese language production of Six. The incredible response in Japan showed us how powerfully audiences connect with these Queens, and we are thrilled to now bring that energy to the West End. The addition of the masterclasses makes this visit even more special — it’s not only about seeing the show in Japanese for the first time in the UK, but also about sharing our language and culture with audiences in a truly interactive way.”

The original West End production of Six The Musical continues to play at the Vaudeville Theatre, and is now booking to 28 June 2026.
